Pat Rainey 1952-2016 r.i.p.
Pat had a twinkling smile as a hard-working children’s librarian,
dedicated music lover, member of Folknet, quilter, and loving wife
of 42 years; mother of six children, and doting grandmother.
She fought the good fight with ovarian cancer but lost last month.
Her funeral was the day before her 64th birthday.
